Trump Says Vote Must Happen Today

Despite opposition, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) repeal and replacement moves ahead. Issues include: Conservative Republicans want a faster end to the ACA Medicaid expansion, which the bill has set for 2020, and want to add work requirements for able-bodied, childless Medicaid recipients. They also call age-based tax credits to help people buy insurance a new “entitlement.” However, Trump administration officials and House Republican leaders have said they hope to get the bill to the House floor this week so it can go to the Senate before the mid-April recess.
